Hi everyone,
I love the sound of my C5 RS6, but i am wondering if anyone has modified their stock exhaust or swapped the whole system for something else? Pros, con, advises, gains? mine has the SE and sounds great has i mentioned, but i would love to hear it a little more but i don't want droning either, just want to enjoy that growl. I plan on power upgrades eventually but not for this year.
Thanks
I've got a whole Miltek system on mine. Catless downpipes and the resonated Miltek exhaust. Isn't much louder than stock until you really get on it. The Whole Miltek system is about 4mm larger diameter than stock for slightly extra flow.
Most go with a full milltek system, either resonated or not. You can search YouTube for videos. Other popular option is deleting the resonators on the stock exhaust.
The RS stock exhaust flows pretty well, with the dps as the exception. I think the biggest performance improvement would come from gutting the stock dps or going with aftermarket.
I did a custom exhaust from USP and Miltek tips. Easier to go with a full Miltek system but I am happy. https://youtu.be/wv9wEMiLku8
Ok thank you. By being larger did you gain much or just a better system over stock?Quote:

But i am also looking forward to power upgrades in the future and i don't want to redo it again once i do so. I am getting a 034 Motorsports chip in May but bigger power upgrades in the future as well.Quote:

Ca someone post more info on the SE exhaust? Differences to stock? How do I know if I have it or not?
Thx!
SE has matte black tips, about it visually I think...has a bit more rumble when next to the stock shiny silver tip exhaust.Quote:

Thx to both who replied. I guess I need to find a video of a comparison, seems I have the standard exhaust
